Sadly I'd have to agree. I never touch them anymore - they're just more trouble than they're worth.

Basically yeah. Sennheiser has a weird but I guess effective strategy of just releasing a bunch bunch of stuff. I would rather go for spending time on a product but I can see how that may not profit as much.

Wanna work for Sennheiser? They're looking - and you're already in the area.

Thanks! I'm enjoying writing this one as I am very pleased with the unit. If you want a hint as to what it is, I can say ClieOS has already reviewed it. Of course, that won't help much as he's reviewed a ton.

Well, I don't know if he still cruises Head-Fi as much, as his new position targets a slightly different demographic. Good guy though, and I'm happy for him as his new position has much more responsibility (and authority).

@warren: about sibilance, there's no real problem here, at least for me. I did not do any comparison on that aspect; in my opinion, hd215 is acceptable in that aspect. No obvious sharp/biting sound. I have a budget in-ear phone which sibilance is obviously very bad... with sharp/biting sound most of the time when there's 'S' or 'shh' sound. Have tried it with E11, but there's no obvious improvement.

An update about hd215 + fiio e11: now I found that High Power & High Gain mode at an average volume of 2.5 sounds excellent. I have tried High Power & Low Gain at volume around 3, but found it too loud.

Note: I've read somewhere in this forum about setting the e11's volume between 3 to 6 for optimum sound (by adjusting the gain high or low). But found it a bit less practical with hd215.

As I currently have koss portapro for casual listening and hd215 for monitor/accuracy-type listening, can anyone suggest a worthy addition/upgrade? currently looking at Sennheiser HD25-II-C (coiled cable, closed type), read many good review about it - is it really good? Amperior is way out of reach at the moment. How about 558? Also, Grado's range - but reviews less favour its comfort aspect.
